Bradford gets $50 million guaranteed, buys a ping-pong table

The Rams made quarterback Sam Bradford the first overall pick in the draft. The Rams gave Bradford a contract with $24 million guaranteed on signing, and $26 million more likely guaranteed in due time.

So how has he used that money?

He bought a ping-pong table.

Bradford offered up that factoid during an interview with Al Michaels of Sunday Night Football.

Maybe if the Rams beat the Seahawks tonight and qualify for the postseason, Bradford will use his playoff share to purchase a foosball table.

My thanks to a great NFL quarterback, one who will never be forgotten by Packer fans, who will always be able to look back on a great career with the Green Bay Packers, Super Bowl victory and a lot of other great memories…

I dated a woman who was his adviser at OU, and she said he was a completely down to earth guy. Additionally, he was very active in the community, and a regular visitor to a number of youth football teams in the Oklahoma City area.

The NFL could use a lot more Sam Bradfords, and frankly, so could the planet.

He looks like he just came from chopping some trees. He bought a ping pong table for his 10 million dollar home and to go with his 500,000 worth of cars and 3 million with of jewelry that got left out of the story.

Yea, I remember when people said Ben Roethlisberger is a “great guy” with “family values” as a rookie lol. How did that work out?

They also forgot to mention that in addition to a ping pong table, he bought a pool table, an Escalade, and multi-million dollar home, diamonds for his mom, etc., etc.
